Reply To: Anyone been to Belize?

Went there two years ago and did all the travel arrangements myself. We stayed in Belize City, Lamanai Chaa Creek and Ambergris Caye. Belize City was the only place we didn’t feel safe, but only because when we asked our hotel for restaurant reservations they had a look of horror on their face that said “Please don’t let a tourist die on my shift”. But everywhere else felt as safe as any developing country.

It was stinking expensive in resorts as the Americans seem to like the place and think nothing of paying top dollar for average food dressed with lobster and truffle oil. Ambergris Caye was plagued by American tourists in buggies paying silly money for said lobster and food ruined by truffle oil.

Everywhere else was amazing. I’m sure you will have loads of fun. Rent a car and get yourself out on the road. Try and get into the jungle or go see Altun Ha.
